minimal residue
SYNTAX: Notion in checking theory. The minimal residue of X is the smallest subset K of the residue(X) S, such that for any element A of S, some element B of K reflexively dominates A. EXAMPLE: In (i), the residue of X is ZP, UP, WP, H and whatever these categories dominate. The minimal residue of X is just {ZP, UP, WP, H}. The minimal residue of H is {UP, ZP, WP}.
